Especially since now pressing them open and are laying flat, I love making them. I am posting the block and then the start of the quilt just layed out but not sewn together yet. I was actually doing this with my daughter in N.C. (long distance) and some friends of hers, we all will have different layouts. I just happen to be way ahead of them because of needing to get things done quickly. Putting 4 blocks together to make the pinwheel gives a 12 1/2" block. I will add a couple borders once this is sewn & it will be done. It's all scraps & stash. BTW, making 1 block gives you two...I love that! The pinwheel is black with chocolate brown dots in a circular shell pattern, hope it shows up.
I love what you did. So let me ask, how did you do the light triangles? I have a mental block this morning (not letting me visualize). I will have to play with that; as if I need anything else to do on this rainy day. I have a million things to do and I am sitting here in my pjs and bathrobe. It is so ugly out even the dane won't go out. She doesn't like to get wet. :roll:
